Inside The Little One Daily

Every ingredient earns its place.

No endless ingredient list. No token amounts. Just thoughtfully selected nutrients chosen with fussy eaters in mind.

DHA Omega-3

The one many fussy eaters miss

Current formula: 100 mg DHA
Form: Microencapsulated algal DHA

DHA is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid and an important structural component of the brain and retina.

Why we included it:
Oily fish is one of the richest dietary sources of DHA — and often one of the foods selective eaters are least enthusiastic about.

We use algal DHA, giving us a direct source of DHA without using fish oil.

Naturally found in:
Salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout and microalgae.

Iron

For growing minds

Current formula: 3–4 mg elemental iron
Form: Ferrous bisglycinate

Iron contributes to normal cognitive development in children, normal red blood cell formation and normal oxygen transport around the body.

Why we included it:
Children who eat little meat, pulses or iron-fortified foods may have relatively little iron in their diet. Ferrous bisglycinate was chosen as a well-established supplemental form.

Naturally found in:
Red meat, poultry, beans, lentils, chickpeas, eggs and fortified cereals.

Vitamin D3

For growing bones

Current formula: 10 µg / 400 IU
Form: Cholecalciferol

Vitamin D is needed for the normal growth and development of bones in children and contributes to normal immune function.

Why we included it:
Dietary sources of vitamin D are limited, and UK guidance recommends vitamin D supplementation for young children.

Naturally found in:
Oily fish and egg yolk, as well as fortified milks and cereals.

Zinc

For immunity & everyday development

Current formula: 3 mg
Form: Zinc citrate

Zinc contributes to normal immune function, normal cognitive function, normal DNA synthesis and the maintenance of normal bones.

Why we included it:
Important zinc sources such as meat, dairy, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds are often foods that can disappear from a selective eater's diet.

Naturally found in:
Meat, cheese, milk, eggs, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds.

Iodine

For growing minds

Current formula: 50 µg
Form: Potassium iodide

Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function, normal thyroid hormone production and normal thyroid function.

Why we included it:
The major dietary sources include dairy, fish and eggs, meaning intake can become more relevant when children consistently avoid these foods.

Naturally found in:
Milk, yoghurt, cheese, fish, eggs and some fortified plant-based alternatives.

Calcium

Current formula: 100 mg
Form: Calcium citrate malate

Calcium is needed for the normal growth and development of bones in children.

Why it's there:
Children who consume little milk, yoghurt, cheese or fortified alternatives may have lower calcium intakes.

Food sources:
Milk, yoghurt, cheese, fortified plant drinks, tofu and some green vegetables.

Vitamin C

Current formula: 25 mg
Form: Calcium ascorbate

Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function and importantly increases iron absorption.

That pairing is one reason it makes sense alongside iron in the formula.

Food sources:
Berries, oranges, kiwi, peppers, broccoli, tomatoes and potatoes.

Vitamin A

Current formula: 233 µg RE
Form: Retinyl palmitate

Vitamin A contributes to normal immune function and the maintenance of normal vision.

Food sources:
Eggs and dairy provide preformed vitamin A, while carrots, sweet potatoes and dark green vegetables provide carotenoids that the body can convert to vitamin A.

Vitamin E

Current formula: 3 mg α-TE
Form: D-alpha-tocopheryl succinate

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Food sources:
Nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, avocado and some green vegetables.

B vitamins

B Vitamins — for energy and everyday development Our blend of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, folate and B12 helps support normal energy metabolism, nervous-system function and healthy blood formation — important foundations for growing children.

If your order contains both a pre-order product and an item that is already available, the whole order may be dispatched together once the pre-order item is ready unless otherwise stated.

We'll always do our best to keep you informed if there are any significant changes to the expected dispatch date.

Changing or Cancelling an Order

If you need to change your delivery details or cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible at contact@thelittleone.health.

We process orders quickly, so we cannot guarantee that changes can be made once your order has entered the fulfilment process.

If the order has already been dispatched, our normal returns process will apply.

Returns

We hope you'll love The Little One Daily. However, we understand that sometimes you may change your mind.

If you notice an error, contact us as soon as possible and we'll try to update it before dispatch.

Unfortunately, once an order has been shipped, we may not be able to redirect it. Additional delivery costs may apply if an order needs to be resent because an incorrect address was provided.

Around your property
With other members of your household
With neighbours
Any safe place identified by the courier

If it still cannot be located, contact contact@thelittleone.health and we'll help investigate with the delivery provider.

International Delivery

Option if you're UK-only at launch:

At the moment, The Little One Daily is available for delivery within the UK only. We're working on bringing The Little One to more families internationally soon.

That is what I'd use initially rather than overcomplicating fulfilment at launch.

Still have a question?

We're always happy to help.
